Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 70 / Thursday, April 12, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 18391 

section 12(d) of the National 

Technology Transfer and Advancement 

Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not 

apply. This rule does not impose an 

information collection burden under the 

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). 

The Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. section 801 et seq., as added by 

the Small Business Regulatory 

Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, 

generally provides that before a rule 

may take effect, the agency 

promulgating the rule must submit a 

rule report, which includes a copy of 

the rule, to each House of the Congress 

and to the Comptroller General of the 

United States. EPA will submit a report 

containing this rule and other required 

information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. 

House of Representatives, and the 

Comptroller General of the United 

States prior to publication of the rule in 

the Federal Register. A major rule 

cannot take effect until 60 days after it 

is published in the Federal Register. 

This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as 

defined by 5 U.S.C. section 804(2). 

Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, 

petitions for judicial review of this 

action must be filed in the United States 

Court of Appeals for the appropriate 

circuit by June 11, 2007. Filing a 

petition for reconsideration by the 

Administrator of this final rule does not 

affect the finality of this rule for the 

purposes of judicial review nor does it 

extend the time within which a petition 

for judicial review may be filed, and 

shall not postpone the effectiveness of 

such rule or action. This action may not 

be challenged later in proceedings to 

enforce its requirements. (See section 

307(b)(2)).

I. What Should I Consider as I Prepare 

My Comments for EPA? 

A. Submitting CBI 

Do not submit this information to EPA 

through www.regulations.gov or e-mail. 

Clearly mark the part or all of the 

information that you claim to be CBI. 

For CBI information in a disk or CD 

ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the 

outside of the disk or CD ROM as CBI 

and then identify electronically within 

the disk or CD ROM the specific 

information that is claimed as CBI. In 

addition to one complete version of the 

comment that includes information 

claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment 

that does not contain the information 

claimed as CBI must be submitted for 

inclusion in the public docket. 

Information so marked will not be 

disclosed except in accordance with 

procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2. 

B. Tips for Preparing Your Comments 

When submitting comments, 

remember to: 

1. Identify the rulemaking by docket 

number and other identifying 

information (subject heading, Federal 

Register date and page number). 

2. Follow directions—The EPA may 

ask you to respond to specific questions 

or organize comments by referencing a 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 

or section number. 

3. Explain why you agree or disagree; 

suggest alternatives and substitute 

language for your requested changes. 

4. Describe any assumptions and 

provide any technical information and/ 

or data that you used. 

5. If you estimate potential costs or 

burdens, explain how you arrived at 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced. 

6. Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns, and suggest 

alternatives. 

7. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible, avoiding the use of profanity 

or personal threats. 

8. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified. 

II. What Is Being Addressed in This 

Document? 

EPA is making a revision to the CFR 

for the purpose of giving WDNR full 

regulatory responsibility for EPA-issued 

PSD permits on non-tribal lands. 

EPA first delegated the PSD program 

to WDNR on November 13, 1987, which 

was later amended by a February 16, 

1989, delegation. The 1989 delegation 

included language which authorized 

WDNR to amend EPA-issued PSD 

permits. EPA granted final full approval 

to Wisconsin’s PSD program on May 27, 

1999 (64 FR 28745), which became 

effective and was approved into the 

State Implementation Plan (SIP) on June 

28, 1999. However, EPA stated in 40 

CFR 52.2581 that its approval did not 

extend to sources with Federal PSD 

permits and EPA retained authority to 

administer the PSD program for those 

permits. 

EPA received a letter dated March 28, 

2006, from WDNR regarding facilities 

within the state that have permits which 

require revision, modification, and/or 

updates. Allowing WDNR to have the 

authority to amend the EPA-issued PSD 

permits will enable WDNR to have 

direct access to modify these permits 

accordingly. This will facilitate permit 

tracking and identification of applicable 

requirements for WDNR permit 

engineers. 

The Clean Air Act contains 

requirements that must be met when a 

State/Local/Tribe is adopting a plan 

requirement. Section 110(a)(2)(E)(i) 

requires that any government who 

wishes to carry out such 

implementation plan have ‘‘adequate 

personnel, funding, and authority under 

State law.’’. 

In a letter sent to EPA dated July 19, 

2006, WDNR demonstrated state legal 

authority to take responsibility for the 

permits. WDNR’s authority to take 

responsibility for EPA-issued permits 

can be found under Wisconsin’s 

Statutes in s. 285.67, Wis. Stat., which 

authorizes WDNR to promulgate rules 

for revising, suspending, and revoking 

air pollution control permits. Section 

NR 406.11, Wis. Adm. Code, authorizes 

WDNR to revise construction permits, 

including PSD permits. In the same 

letter, WDNR demonstrated that it has 

the adequate resources and funding to 

become the primary regulating agency of 

the EPA-issued PSD permits. WDNR has 

19.5 full time employees to perform 

construction permit activities under a 

program that annually generates 

approximately two million dollars in 

program revenue. 

None of the facilities with EPA-issued 

PSD permits which are the subject of 

this action are located in Indian 

Country. We do not anticipate that this 

action will have any affect on tribal 

rights within Indian country or in ceded 

territories. 

With this action, the regulatory text in 

40 CFR 52.2581 will be revised to reflect 

that WDNR has been given full 

regulatory responsibility for EPA-issued 

PSD permits. 

III. What Action Is EPA Taking Today? 

EPA is revising 40 CFR 52.2581 to 

give WDNR regulatory responsibility for 

EPA-issued PSD permits. The language, 

‘‘and sources with permits issued by 

EPA prior to the effective date of the 

state’s rules,’’ will be deleted. WDNR 

has demonstrated that it has the legal 

authority, and adequate resources, to 

take over full regulatory responsibility 

for the permits. 


rmajette on PROD1PC67 with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 70 / Thursday, April 12, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 18393 

We are publishing this action without 

prior proposal because we view this as 

a noncontroversial amendment and 

anticipate no adverse comments. 

However, in the proposed rules section 

of this Federal Register publication, we 

are publishing a separate document that 

will serve as the proposal to approve the 

state plan if relevant adverse written 

comments are filed. This rule will be 

effective June 11, 2007 without further 

notice unless we receive relevant 

adverse written comments by May 14, 

2007. If we receive such comments, we 

will withdraw this action before the 

effective date by publishing a 

subsequent document that will 

withdraw the final action. All public 

comments received will then be 

addressed in a subsequent final rule 

based on the proposed action. The EPA 

will not institute a second comment 

period. Any parties interested in 

commenting on this action should do so 

at this time. If we do not receive any 

comments, this action will be effective 

June 11, 2007. 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Executive Order 12866; Regulatory 

Planning and Review 

Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 

51735, October 4, 1993), this action is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’

and, therefore, is not subject to review 

by the Office of Management and 

Budget. 

Executive Order 13211: Actions That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use 

Because it is not a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ under Executive 

Order 12866 or a ‘‘significant energy 

action,’’ this action is also not subject to 

Executive Order 13211, ‘‘Actions 

Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355, May 

22, 2001). 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

This action merely approves state law 

as meeting Federal requirements and 

imposes no additional requirements 

beyond those imposed by state law. 

Accordingly, the Administrator certifies 

that this rule will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 

et seq.). 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

Because this rule approves preexisting requirements under state law 

and does not impose any additional 

enforceable duty beyond that required 

by state law, it does not contain any 

unfunded mandate or significantly or 

uniquely affect small governments, as 

described in the Unfunded Mandates 

Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4). 

Executive Order 13175 Consultation 

and Coordination With Indian Tribal 

Governments 

This rule also does not have tribal 

implications because it will not have a 

substantial direct effect on one or more 

Indian tribes, on the relationship 

between the Federal Government and 

Indian tribes, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities between the 

Federal Government and Indian tribes, 

as specified by Executive Order 13175 

(59 FR 22951, November 9, 2000). 

Executive Order 13132 Federalism 

This action also does not have 

Federalism implications because it does 

not have substantial direct effects on the 

states, on the relationship between the 

national government and the states, or 

on the distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government, as specified in 

Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, 

August 10, 1999). This action merely 

approves a state rule implementing a 

federal standard, and does not alter the 

relationship or the distribution of power 

and responsibilities established in the 

Clean Air Act. 

Executive Order 13045 Protection of 

Children From Environmental Health 

and Safety Risks 

This rule also is not subject to 

Executive Order 13045 ‘‘Protection of 

Children from Environmental Health 

Risks and Safety Risks’’ (62 FR 19885, 

April 23, 1997), because it is not 

economically significant. 

National Technology Transfer 

Advancement Act 

In reviewing state submissions, EPA’s 

role is to approve state choices, 

provided that they meet the criteria of 

the Clean Air Act. In this context, in the 

absence of a prior existing requirement 

for the state to use voluntary consensus 

standards (VCS), EPA has no authority 

to disapprove a state submission for 

failure to use VCS. It would thus be 

inconsistent with applicable law for 

EPA, when it reviews a state 

submission, to use VCS in place of a 

state submission that otherwise satisfies 

the provisions of the Clean Air Act. 

Thus, the requirements of section 12(d) 

of the National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 

272 note) do not apply. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

This rule does not impose an 

information collection burden under the 

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). 

Congressional Review Act 

The Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides 

that before a rule may take effect, the 

agency promulgating the rule must 

submit a rule report, which includes a 

copy of the rule, to each House of the 

Congress and to the Comptroller General 

of the United States. EPA will submit a 

report containing this rule and other 

required information to the U.S. Senate, 

the U.S. House of Representatives, and 

the Comptroller General of the United 

States prior to publication of the rule in 

the Federal Register. A major rule 

cannot take effect until 60 days after it 

is published in the Federal Register. 

This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as 

defined by 5 U.S.C. section 804(2). 

Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean 

Air Act, petitions for judicial review of 

this action must be filed in the United 

States Court of Appeals for the 

appropriate circuit by June 11, 2007. 

Filing a petition for reconsideration by 

the Administrator of this final rule does 

not affect the finality of this rule for the 

purposes of judicial review nor does it 

extend the time within which a petition 

for judicial review may be filed, and 

shall not postpone the effectiveness of 

such rule or action. This action may not 

be challenged later in proceedings to 

enforce its requirements. (See section 

307(b)(2)).

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is approving revisions to 

the Arkansas State Implementation Plan 

(SIP) that include changes made to 

Arkansas regulations entitled, 

‘‘Regulations of the Arkansas Plan of 

Implementation for Air Pollution 

Control’’ and ‘‘Nonattainment New 

Source Review Requirements.’’ The 

revisions amend the State’s permitting 

rules in order to address revisions to the 

Federal New Source Review (NSR) 

regulations, which were promulgated by 

EPA on December 31, 2002 and 

reconsidered with minor changes on 

November 7, 2003 (collectively, these 

two final actions are called the ‘‘2002 

NSR Reform Rules’’). Prevention of 

Significant Deterioration (PSD) and 

Nonattainment NSR (NNSR) programs, 

together with the minor preconstruction 

permit program required by the Federal 

Clean Air Act (‘‘Act’’), are commonly 

referred to as the ‘‘NSR programs.’’

Arkansas revised its preconstruction 

permitting rules that affect major 

sources and major modifications to 

include provisions for baseline 

emissions calculations, an actual-toprojected-actual methodology for 

calculating emissions changes, options 

for plantwide applicability limits 

(PALs), and recordkeeping and 

reporting requirements. The revisions 

also include non-substantive revisions 

to previously SIP-approved regulations 

and new regulations for implementing 

the permitting provisions for the 8-Hour 

Ozone National Ambient Air Quality 

Standard-Phase 2, Economic 

Development Zone in Crittenden 

County, and Stage I Vapor Recovery. 

Finally, EPA is taking no action on 

provisions that relate to designated 

facilities. We are approving the 

revisions because we find the changes 

consistent with EPA’s implementing 

regulations, guidance, and policy and 

with section 110(l) of the Act. 

DATES: This final rule is effective on 

May 14, 2007.

Outline 

I. What Action Is EPA Taking Today? 

II. What Is the Background for This Action? 

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. What Action Is EPA Taking? 

EPA is taking final action to approve 

revisions to the Arkansas SIP that were 

submitted on February 3, 2005, and July 

3, 2006, by the Governor of Arkansas. 

The 2005 submittal consists of revisions 

to ‘‘Regulation No. 19—Regulations of 

the Arkansas Plan of Implementation for 

Air Pollution Control.’’ The 2006 

submittal consists of further revisions to 

‘‘Regulation No. 19—Regulations of the 

Arkansas Plan of Implementation for Air 

Pollution Control’’ and a new 

‘‘Regulation No. 31—Nonattainment 

New Source Review Requirements.’’

The revisions were made to update the 

Arkansas NSR programs to make them 

consistent with changes to the Federal 

NSR regulations published on December 

31, 2002 (67 FR 80186) and November 

7, 2003 (68 FR 63021). These two EPA 

rulemakings are commonly referred to 

as the ‘‘2002 NSR Reform Rules.’’

These SIP revisions also add 

provisions for implementing the air 

permitting requirements for the 8-hour 

ozone national ambient air quality 

standard-phase 2 (promulgated 

November 29, 2005 (70 FR 71611)), 

Economic Development Zone rules that 

implement section 173(a)(1)(B) of the 

Act, and provisions for Stage I Vapor 

Recovery. In addition, Arkansas revised 

Regulation No. 19 to make the following
